The study succeeded in bringing to the forefront the concept of integrating land use and
transportation planning to optimize the utility of a proposed expressway between Medford and
White City. Through the study process, recommendations have been developed to protect the
function and integrity of the proposed expressway, and to support successful commercial areas
and livable residential neighborhoods. If the decision is made to build an expressway between
North Medford and White City, ideas produced in this study can guide state and local decision
makers to choices that will enhance the Hwy. 62 corridor area in many ways. [From the document]
